know this life [birth]

Poem was uncomfortable all evening and getting to sleep had been an arduous chore. Hours passed as she listened quietly to Sparhawk’s steady breathing. She was curled up close beside him, thankful for his warmth on cold nights like this. Peace covered the pair of wolves like a blanket, snow was falling outside and all the world seemed silent. Poem eventually drifted into sleep, but it wasn’t near as soft and peaceful as the weather outside. After what felt like only a few moments Poem was woken by a sudden pain like waves from her abdomen.

The feeling was somewhat familiar, she’d experienced with more frequency over the last couple of weeks. This one was different though, and she knew right away that the time had come. Hours before dawn in a heavy snowfall, Poem and Sparhawk would become parents. A little panicked her eyes fluttered open and she grit her teeth through the episode. It wasn’t very long but she gasped lightly for breath at the end of it.

She pressed into her husband’s side, they were laying comfortably over the nest they’d worked on. She pressed her muzzle to his cheek and squeezed her eyes shut as she faced the next step. Poem was about to give birth and she was scared. ”Sparhawk,” she whispered, the emotions lingering in her voice as she woke her husband. It was time. Once he was conscious she’d ask him to call for Theory, and soon enough they’d get to meet their new puppies.
